General Sight Announcements (10)
Polosoft technologies, a growing company in the field of GIS web and mobile application development with a highly experienced team. Recently, we have developed an android survey application (GIS Surveyor) for surveyors and GIS professionals.
The application will be most useful with lots of features for land surveying, agricultural, farming, forestry, timber inventories, site surveying, environmental systems, and highway road surveying.
Top 5 Benefits of the GIS surveyor application:
- Possibility to view multiple layers including points, lines and polygons at the same time.
- Possibility to group data into survey layers - each survey layer may have a default set of attributes.
- Four methods of data collection are supported, GPS/GNSS location, map cursor location, GIS Tracker, point projection using angle and distance.
- Direct export to Dropbox, Google Drive at anywhere location.
- Import point, line and polygon features into layer from CSV, KML or GeoJSON file.
Download Required on Android OS 4.4 and up.
We will be adding more technical features in the application in the coming few days. Go through this Playstore link to download the GIS Surveyor application.
Hello Surveyors,
We could really benefit from your help. As our community continues to grow at a rapid rate (currently over 15,600 members globally) and we discuss all kinds of topics related to land surveying, we are starting to need some help with moderation in the location based group forums. While Land Surveyors United forums want to encourage free speech and thought provoking ideas, occasionally abusive people can interrupt our conversations with unnecessary language, bitterness or personal vendettas. Land Surveyors United is seeking out several great moderators. These moderators should be active members of the forums who can view topics and discussion from an unbiased perspective.
The most important part of being a group moderator is to build a small community within your group which keeps everyone in your locality up to speed on Surveying laws, protect others from cyber bullying and keep the conversation in action without unnecessary abuse or name calling. Although we have very little of this occurring on the network it is still good practice to have someone in place.
Apply to Become a Local Leader
Moderation involves the following tasks and can be accomplished easily in your spare time:
- Reporting Surveying News for your area inside your group discussions
- Inviting your local surveyors to the group and building a micro-community
- Sharing useful links with your fellow surveyors in your area
- Adding local surveyor events and projects to your group
Things You Can Do To Your Group as Moderator
- Stream live Events using Video
- Add Pages with Resources, Links, Projects and Products
- Change the Icon and Background For Your Group
- Promote Companies and Associations Which Your Value Locally
- Be the first to know about new features coming to Land Surveyors United
- much much more...
Benefits Are Growing Daily! For starters you will have access to this exclusive group for Local Leaders of Surveying and you will get your own @landsurveyorsunited.org email address, 7GB of free space on Skydrive and have your name placed inside our Organization Structure . In the future we hope to award continuing education credits to Local Leaders in the network.
